'Finish line of my 50-year dash'

It's about time we saw some news from our industry that elicits a smile rather than a panic attack. Here's one such item: Bob Frisk retired this month after 50 YEARS of covering high-school sports for the Daily Herald. In his final column, published Dec. 5, Bob refers to retirement as "the finish line of my 50-year dash."

You can't put 50 years of your life into something without having it become a part of you. Yes, I am retiring, but a part of me is staying on and, hopefully, will remain in the positive way the Daily Herald covers high school sports and the way our reporters continue to understand they are dealing with impressionable teenagers and not prima donna and overpaid professionals.

Here's a sampling of praise from Daily Herald colleagues: Barry Rozner, Jim Slusher, John Radtke and Marty Maciaszek.
